Friday Favorites
Happy Friday!
This week started with a plan and a list of things I wanted to accomplish. But as typically happens, that plan was taken out of my hands and "altered." Needless to say, things that I wanted to get done didn't see completion. The downside of working part time as a substitute teacher is that when you most need an afternoon to snap some pictures and finish a DIY, you are called in unexpectedly to teach. But there is no sense in complaining, especially since it looks like those circumstances are going to continue into the upcoming week. So, posts may be a little sparse....Or maybe I'll surprise myself and get everything done. I guess you'll just have to wait and see!

Did you realize that today is Friday? It seems like just a few days ago that I typed the last Friday Favorite post and now the day has rolled around again. Don't get me wrong....I LOVE Fridays and anxiously anticipate the end of the week. But I just don't know where my time is going lately.
In case you didn't notice, today is my first post for the week aside from yesterday's link party. I've been in a real mid-winter funk lately and just can't seem to get motivated to blog (or do much of anything else). Anyone else feeling the same way? The worst part is that I even have a couple posts pretty much done.....I just couldn't work up the enthusiasm to finish them. There is always next week, I guess!

Today's post is going to be short and sweet. Thursday was and birthday, and I normally try to do this post then. But who wants to work on their birthday, right?!?! Luckily, I already had some favorites picked out so part of the job was already done.
My mom made me a fabulous turkey dinner (and yummy cheesecake) to celebrate. It is hard to believe I'm 32 because I don't feel that old. And I was told by someone last week that they thought I was 25, so I guess I don't look that old, either.
I hope you enjoy my slightly shortened post today and have a fabulous weekend. It sounds like it is going to be another frigid one in my neck of the woods, so I'm seeing a few days of curling up under a blanket in my future!

Well, yesterday ended up being another snowy day. Luckily there wasn't the ice in my town that some places saw, but the roads were still slick. And there were still crazy drivers, one of whom thought he might pull out in front of me. Slamming on my brakes made my car do a little sliding dance in the road, but luckily it was just a short dance without any collision. Believe me when I say that I turn into a ninety-year-old woman driver when the snow starts to cover the roadways and would prefer just to stay home.
That's enough weather talk for today, though. I'm trying my best to embrace the good things about winter.....hot chocolate.....cute scarves.....furry snow boots......pretty snow-capped trees......OK, I'm out.

Good Friday morning!
Have you been missing my weekly favorites? I honestly had planned on doing this post last Friday, but it totally slipped my mind until late on New Year's Day. Best laid plans, I guess. (There were also plans for an end of the year review, but that will have to wait until next week.)
I'm excited to be back to posting and have so many plans for this upcoming year.....ways to improve my life and see my blog grow. As so many of you seem to be doing, I've chosen a word of the year to focus on. Rather than create a list of resolutions that I know I won't keep, I picked an idea to guide me through the decisions I make everyday. I'll be introducing that one day next week, too, as well as sharing some of my goals.
Friday Favorites #20
By this time next week, the packages will be unwrapped, the dinner guests will be gone, and the radio will be done playing Christmas carols. Can you believe it? We all spend so much time preparing for Christmas and then before you know it, the holiday is over. I can honestly say that I've tried to slow down and take the season in this year.
Of course, that meant I kind of disappeared from here with any projects or recipes lately. Believe me....I had plans. But when it felt like the Christmas season was slipping away from me, I realized I needed to step back and enjoy my life. There is always next year for those unfinished DIYs and cookies. (And believe it or not, I already have the ENTIRE Christmas blog season planned for next year. You'll just have to wait and be surprised!)

It was a snowy day yesterday and something about the flakes coming down put me in a good Christmas mood. Don't get me wrong....I'm not a fan of the snow or the cold. But there are days when snow just seems appropriate. You know what I mean?
Whether you are watching the snow fall right now or not, I hope that these favorites of mine will put you in a good Christmas mood as well. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving is over. The turkey is cleaned up. And today I am out braving the crowds to do a little Black Friday shopping. It is so hard to believe that the Christmas season officially starts today and the holiday will be here before you know it. What are your plans for this weekend? Shopping...decorating...spending time with family?
From now until Christmas, my Friday Favorites are going to be holiday related. Isn't that what most of us are interested in being inspired by right now? It's what I'm seeing the most of right now on Pinterest and throughout the many blogs I follow. Whether you plan on decorating a lot, whipping up many delicious treats, hosting family, or just enjoying the season, I hope that some of what I share here will help you create a cozy, meaningful Christmas!
Have a great weekend everyone!
